By the end of the night, when it was completely dark, Zheng Sheng and his team had already walked a long way north along the Tuanshui River, and finally spent the night in a small village called Tuan Santing. After a day's journey, everyone was so tired that they went to sleep without mentioning it.

Dozens of miles away from here, a group of people were discussing something.

"I don't know what happened to Ye Duxing, he should have delivered the news."

"Now that Qi Mazi has decided, they are going west, and they may be able to reach Lixian tomorrow. Most of our manpower is arranged in Shiduyi, and it will be too late to rush over. ”

Sitting on a large rock in the center is a middle-aged man with a sloppy beard and a decadent look. After hearing this, he was even more depressed.

"How to get from Lixian to Shunyang? How long will it take? He asked, his voice low and clear, not unlike his stumbling appearance.

"Either go to the county, and go south. Either go directly to the Negative Wu Mountain, the former is far but the road is flat, and the latter is close but you have to go around the negative Wu Mountain. Both are almost two or three days away. ”

"We can't be sure that they're going that way, right?"

"Yes, but I think that since they have sensed the danger, they must have chosen to cut corners."

"This is not necessarily, they are all carriages and horses, and most of them are old people and children, entering the negative Wu Mountain? Unlikely. ”

"Let Qi Mazi lead people over first to block them. The big guys are all in Shiduyi, let's take a boat to the north, go to Junshui, and go to Wuwu Mountain. ”

"There are only more than ten people in their group, and Ding Zhuang is less than ten people, and a team of people can solve it if they block it. They can't escape. ”

"As for what Ye Duxing is doing? After this is done, I will settle accounts with him! ”

The next day, Zheng Sheng and his entourage got up early and continued to hurry. Before noon, they arrived at Lixian County. Along the way, Zheng Sheng looked at the undulating mounds in the flat field, and when he arrived outside the city of Lixian, the mounds became small hills.

Zheng Sheng finished watching the mountain and entered the city with everyone.

Qiu Fuzi and Zheng Sheng discussed it for a while, and decided to rest for half an hour, then changed horses and continued to hurry. These horses had driven them for hundreds of miles in a day and a half, and they really couldn't be used anymore.

From the Zheng car shop in Lixian County, the horses with full strength were changed, and the driving speed increased again. However, although the road to Xixian is not as difficult as the negative Wu Mountain, it is also as smooth as the avenue outside Wancheng. In order to prevent the horse from falling, the speed cannot be increased to the fastest.

In the evening of that day, they arrived safely at a village called Qingquju.

When Zheng Sheng learned the news that they were still more than ten miles away from Xixian, he was in a slightly relaxed mood, and he would definitely be able to arrive in Xixian before noon tomorrow. If you take a boat south in Xixian County, you will definitely be able to return home the next morning.

Early the next morning, continue on your way.

Zheng Sheng looked at Zheng Shang who was still reading hard with a book in the carriage, he couldn't help but scratch his head, this Zheng Shang is really a good student! After two days in the carriage, he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart. Zheng Shang is still reading? He doesn't get motion sickness and doesn't want to throw up?

"Zheng Shang, what do you want to do in the future?" It's really boring, Zheng Sheng watched him read, and he had a headache, so he could only find a topic and chat with Zheng Shang.

Zheng Shang looked up with some doubts: "What do you want to do in the future?" He thought for a moment, "I don't know, but it's better than it is now." ”

"Before you went to school, your mother taught you to read?" Zheng Sheng continued to ask.

"Yes, my mother taught me." Zheng Shang said in a brisk tone, and after speaking, he looked back at the carriage behind him, "My mother will read a lot." ”

Zheng Shang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Shizi, why do you keep helping me?" ”

Zheng Sheng thought that of course he was pitiful for you, but he naturally wouldn't say this: "Because you are my family, you are my nephew, you are bullied, of course I want to help you." ”

"Loved ones? Nephew? Zheng Shang opened his mouth, and wanted to tell Zheng Sheng that he was no longer Zheng Sheng's son, and naturally he was not Zheng Sheng's nephew. But if the father doesn't want it, he doesn't want it. Don't want this little uncle anymore? Zheng Shang was confused.

The two people in the carriage felt that the carriage suddenly jolted, and the two were defenseless, and Zheng Shang almost knocked his head on the carriage.

Zheng Sheng lifted the curtain of the car, looked around, and found that all the backwards on both sides were steep steep slopes and mountain peaks, "Where is this?" ”

Zheng Sheng's carriage driver is called Xing Fuyi, he is an old coachman who is nearly sixty years old, ordinary appearance, small eyes, with a gray beard, he is also familiar with this mountain road, and he opened his mouth to Zheng Sheng and said: "This place is called Huhu Valley, the locals say that there are tigers in this place all the year round, people go to this place, and if they are not careful, they will die in the tiger's mouth, so they call this more than a mile long gorge Huhu Valley." ”

"The prince will sit down, and in a few hours, he will arrive at Xi County."

Zheng Sheng nodded, didn't go back to the carriage, and sat on the wheel with Xing Fuyi, looking at the woods and hillsides on both sides of the road.

After walking a little further, Zheng Sheng found that there were no other pedestrians on this mountain road, only their group passing by, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Are there few people passing here?" ”

"This road connects Xi County and Li County, and there are often people coming and going." Xing Fuyi was also a little puzzled.

Zheng Sheng looked at both sides of the road and found that this place was indeed very steep, and they couldn't turn the carriage here, Zheng Sheng had a bad premonition, he called Zheng Yun: "Uncle Yun, it's too dangerous here, be careful." ”

After listening to Zheng Sheng's words, Zheng Yun also realized the danger in this place, and asked the four guards who were guarding in front and behind to be careful.

"There's a road block ahead!" At this moment, one of the guards in front suddenly shouted.

Xing Fuyi immediately pulled the reins to stop, Zheng Sheng stood up on the wheel, looked forward, and not far ahead, several people with knives and guns ran out from both sides of the road. Zheng Sheng sat down and asked Zheng Yun on the side: "Uncle Yun, let's rush over, can we do it?" ”

Zheng Yun shook his head, "We have too many cars and horses, and the other party chooses to do it in this kind of place, so we can't rush over." ”

At this time, the guards in the back also suddenly shouted: "There are also people from behind!" ”

Zheng Yun and two guards were ready to come forward to negotiate with them. Zheng Sheng returned to the carriage and pushed Zheng Shang: "You go back to your mother's carriage." ”

Zheng Shang's face turned pale: "What about you?" ”

Zheng Sheng took out the crossbow machine from the silk silk, took out the arrow, and stepped on it to wind it: "I have a weapon." ”

Zheng Shang was dumbfounded.

Stepping on the winding with his feet naturally saves a lot of trouble, Zheng Sheng lifted the curtain of the car, and heard Zheng Yun speak in front: "If you ask for wealth, I, Nanyang Zheng, am willing to give you enough ......"

"Be careful!" The guards on the side pulled Zheng Yun off his horse, and a wooden spear flew straight towards the carriage and landed on the ground not far in front of the horse. Then, Zheng Sheng saw those people rushing forward.

Zheng Yun was pushed off the horse, he was in a cold sweat, still shouting: "Go back, go back!" Protect the Son! ”

At this time, Xing Fuyi, whose hands and feet were trembling, also pulled out a knife from under the wheel, and when he saw Zheng Sheng come out, the knife fell to the ground and pushed him back, "Shizi, go in!" Dangerous! ”

"Safe inside?" Zheng Sheng couldn't help but complain, his crossbow was still in the carriage and was not exposed. Zheng Sheng counted, a total of six people. As for what happened later, Zheng Sheng only heard the shouts of Zheng Cheng and Wang Jun now.

The number of people will not be too small. Zheng Sheng was in a heavy mood, and he put the remaining four arrows into his arms. At this time, Zheng Yun finally retreated to Zheng Sheng's carriage. The six men also pressed forward.

"Ahh Hearing the sound, Zheng Sheng turned his head to look, and saw that one of the guards had been stabbed in the thigh, and he fell to the ground, and then was caught up by the rogue and waved a big knife at him. Zheng Sheng hurriedly turned his head back to the carriage, but the thin curtain could not stop the frightened shouts of the guards before they died.

Really killed! It's really dead!

Zheng Sheng's scalp was numb, he picked up the swift crossbow and got out of the carriage.
